For automatic Run
in command line
In your shortcut verify your right path
"Complete_path_of_FreeCAD" "Complete_path_of_the_macro.FCMacro"
example:
"C:/FreeCAD_0.20.26858_Win-LPv12.5.4_vc17.x-x86-64/bin/FreeCAD.exe" "C:/Users/User/AppData/Roaming/FreeCAD/Macro/FCInfo_ToolBar.FCMacro"
in Mod directory
- After install the macro with Addon Manager
- Create the FCInfo_ToolBar directory
- Copy the macro FCInfo_ToolBar.FCMacro (copy not move) in the FCInfo_ToolBar directory and rename it in FCInfo_ToolBar.py
- Create a file named InitGui.py
- Paste the code in InitGui.py:
#### FC Version: 0.1 #16/02/2022
#### Mario52
#### FCInfo_ToolBar : mini FCInfo ####
#
import importlib
from importlib import reload
import FreeCAD, FreeCADGui
App = FreeCAD
Gui = FreeCADGui
switch_User_NotRunAuto = FreeCAD.ParamGet("User parameter:BaseApp/Preferences/Macros/FCMmacros/FCInfo_ToolBar").GetBool("switch_User_NotRunAuto")
## switch_User_NotRunAuto 0 (False) = run the macro in begin
## switch_User_NotRunAuto 1 (True) = not run automatic the macro
if switch_User_NotRunAuto == False:
import FCInfo_ToolBar
#reload(FCInfo_ToolBar)
FreeCAD.ParamGet("User parameter:BaseApp/Preferences/Macros/FCMmacros/FCInfo_ToolBar").SetBool("switch_User_NotRunAuto", False)
#FreeCAD.Console.PrintMessage("InitGui Ok FCInfo_ToolBar" + "\n")
- save the file
- run FreeCAD
- if the macro not run (normal) execute the macro FCInfo_ToolBar.FCMacro as a normal macro
- the next start of FreeCAD the macro must start automatically
